Write a thank-you letter or poem to yourself 6 months, 2 weeks agoGrateful for You
Dessmer A. MimsReaching back
To hold your hand
Realizing
you’ve always been there
Waiting
to be everything to meNow your laugh echos
Reminding me of joy
Your wonder persists
Reminding me to dream
Your sweetness permeates
Reminding me to love
And your courage rings
Reminding me to be strongYou exist
within me
Guiding me
Loving me
Cheering for meBecause I love you
I am never alone
Even in the dark
I feel your warmthI look in the mirror
And see that little girl
I wrap her in love
and I watch myself growIt’s only possible
Because of all we’ve been through
So the thing I’m most grateful for, every day,
Is younger me,
Thank you.Voting is closed

Dessmer, I love the way you thank your younger self in this poem. You acknowledge the way your innocence, your courage, and your heart allowed you to become the person you are today. I hope that as you continue to grow, you continue to seek happiness. Thank you for sharing your story!

Write a poem about a dream (or goal) that came true 10 months, 1 weeks agoPinnacle?
Dessmer A MimsDear Unsealers,
A few words about the beauty of goals.
Pinnacle?
Bright lights shine
Impossible
Eyes open wide
Remarkable
The moment, it rings
Forevermore
Here you stand
CommendableYou worked so hard
Your dreams, they grew
You cried so much
You thought you knew
The struggle, is real
Here we go
There you rise
UnstoppableSuccess, it beats
Like a drum
The scared young girl
That was
Stands here now
A Queen
I’ve reached my goal
This diploma meansJoy consumes
Me to my core
A great delight
Worth waiting for
The surprise one finds
In reaching goals
Is the gift that
There is still much moreDessmer A. Mims
